Both cohorts had similar baseline characteristics, except the IFA positive patients had more severe haematological findings and more thyrogastric immune features; also more IFA negative patients had type 2 diabetes mellitus and gastrointestinal (GI) disease or GI surgery. Both cohorts had a good haematological response but an unsatisfactory neurological response to treatment. Hypothyroidism developed in patients of both cohorts during follow-up. 24 IFA positive patients and 7 IFA negative patients developed cancers (p\u200a=\u200a0.007) during follow-up. 20% of all cancers were gastric carcinoma. Mean survival of both cohorts was similar. Mean survival of IFA positive patients with and without cancers was 64 and 129 months, respectively (p&amp;lt;0.001), and that of IFA negative patients 36 and 126 months, respectively (p&amp;lt;0.001). Death rates were 31% in the IFA positive cohort and 21% in the IFA negative cohort (p\u200a=\u200a0.028). Cancer related death rates of IFA positive and IFA negative cohorts were 37% and 14%, respectively (p\u200a=\u200a0.014).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The survival period of Chinese with PA who have received treatment is good, but there is an increased risk of gastric cancers.
